Apparently increasing income inequality and effed up environment is not an issue for 30% of the Swiss at all – sheep voting for the wolves.

Right-wing? Rather semifascist extreme-right wing bunch of xenophobes

These people have fundamentaly different values and fears. Regardless if it’s based in reality, the fear of ending in a “foreigner led country” or “communist dictatorship” are so strong that risking to fall into a authoritarian nationalistic ethnostate is worth it in their eyes.

Let’s keep insulting the voters instead of analyzing what your party is doing wrong.

it‘s literally only immigration talk. it‘s pondering to fears. it has always worked and will always work.
the only single thing left wing parties have to do is at least *accept* that immigration can be an issue. not as a whole, but it can be. do that and the SVP is irrelevant. Denmarks leftists have shown how it works without somehow being a traitor to leftist ideals.

People who support left parties should use their brain (and heart) and try to understand why 30% of the country votes for SVP. Thinking that they are all stupid is an explanation that is not going to help anyone.
Yes, we have almost destroyed the environment and inequality is increasing. Then why do people vote for SVP, which doesn’t solve these problems? Use your brains, people. It is not that everyone is stupid.

To me sounds like the question should be “why do other parties fail to gather people”
Sure udc/svp is a populist party but they still talk about stuff that apparently worries 30% of voters. And they do it horribly bad which tells even more about how disconnected other parties might be
*if you don’t actively follow politics daily with passion but just browse social media and read/watch the news in surface like most people

America doesnt equal switzerland. And voting right doesnt equal voting for nazis atleast not here in switzerland.
The right has some good point just like the left, its up to the person to decide whats most impotant to them. Its extremism thats the issue. Doesnt matter if its right or left, both are bad.
As a south african, italian, dutch and german (litrely) my biggest issues are living-costs, increase in crime and offshoring.

In other countries, this happens as a anti-establishment protest. But here, the SVP is the establishment, “deep state” or whatever you want to call it. Truly idiotic.

I’m one of them. And I’m not the establishment.

Far right to be exact. Remember the SVP was the one telling it’s citizen to consume horse medicine for Covid, that gay people will abuse children in their homes and all of the zealous catholic extremism, with all of the xenophobia, racism and islamophobia that comes with that crowd.
These people have a very dangerous rethoric.

I can understand their racism, but I can’t understand their pro Putin stance: it makes no sense, as does their climate change denial.

First of all, I don’t vote SVP, I try to understand the people who do.
So please don’t crucify me for the following statements:
Most of the statements I have heard from people who vote SVP is that they are fed up with the whole gender issue and want “real” problems dealt with.
Most of them feel the financial pressure and are looking for simple answers to complex questions:
“The evil foreigner took my job”.
It’s easier to understand than hey our whole economic system is end-stage capitalism due to system changes like AI, climate change and greater pressure from tech billionaires.
“Switzerland is no longer Switzerland”
Is a point that I can understand to a certain extent. Switzerland has changed from a very monogamous population to a multicultural state in a short space of time.
The Switzerland I knew from my childhood no longer exists, for better or for worse.
“The EU is imposing foreign judges on us”
Here too, I can understand the emotion, even if it is simply a reality that we are not an island and have very powerful neighbours who exert influence on us. (Switzerland would do exactly the same thing…)
All these statements are no excuse for racism, I simply observe again and again that it is basically people who are afraid and long for simple answers and strong leadership.
Fear of strangers, loss and change.
In the end, unfortunately, all that remains is hate and fear.
